  • Patent number: 11463860
    Abstract: An emergency location information service (E-LIS) for network devices connected to proxy network devices. The proxy network devices are both analog and digital network devices. The proxy network devices send unique identification information for the network device connected to it and request either a location-by-reference (indirect location information) component or location-by-reference (direct location information) component to identify the network device for when an emergency event occurs.

  • Patent number: 11412364
    Abstract: A method and system for locating a network device connected to a proxy network device in an emergency situation. When an electrical connection, whether through physical wires or over a wireless interface such as spread spectrum technology is made on a proxy network device (e.g., analog terminal adapter (ATA), analog or digital Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system, Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) devices, gateway, bridge, router, switch, etc.) for a network device, the proxy network device sends a connection identifier such as a port number or wireless channel number, Device IDentifier (DID) number, etc. to an emergency location server network device to associate the connection identifier on the proxy network device with connected network and with a current physical location to be used in an emergency. When an emergency event occurs, the connection identifier is used to determine an emergency current physical location that is used by first responders.

  • Patent number: 11089441
    Abstract: A method and system for locating a network device in an emergency situation including public information with device verification. Current physical location information is obtained for a network device every time it registers on a network or moves to a new physical location. When a current physical location is determined for a network device, the determined current physical location is sent back to the network device for verification. The network device has the ability to automatically accept, modify or reject the determined current physical location. The current physical location is sent and received in an encrypted format to and from the network device. When the network device initiates an emergency message (e.g. 911, E911, NG911, text-to-911, 112, etc.) based on an emergency event (e.g., weather, crime, fire, natural disaster, medical, terrorist, military, etc.), the emergency message includes the encrypted current physical location information for the network device.

  • Patent number: 10856127
    Abstract: An emergency location information service (E-LIS) for water-based network devices. The E-LIS includes a server application and server network devices that accepts emergency messages from water-based network devices. The water based network devices comprise one or more sensors or one or more actuators, a wireless connection interface including a wireless low power wide-area ultra-narrowband network interface and a wireless low earth orbit satellite network connection interface and is an automated network device capable of sensing is own environment and automatically sending out the one or more emergency messages or one or more emergency text messages without operator input to an E-LIS server network device when an emergency event occurs on a body of water. The E-LIS server network device provides a current physical geographic location for such water-based network devices and/or users of the water-based network devices in an emergency situation on the body of water such as a river, lake, sea, ocean, etc.
